How to Turn On the Red Light on iPhone
If you’re looking to activate the red light feature on your iPhone, there are several methods you can use, depending on what you mean by “red light.” Below are the different ways to access red light functionalities such as the flashlight or accessibility settings.
1. Activating the Flashlight
iPhones have a built-in flashlight that you can turn on. To turn on the red light, you can customize it by using a red filter.
Steps to Turn on the Flashlight:
1. Access Control Center: Swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen (iPhone X and later) or swipe up from the bottom (iPhone 8 and earlier).
2. Tap the Flashlight Icon: This will turn on the flashlight at its default brightness.
Customize for Red Light:
To make the flashlight emit a red light, you can place a red filter over the flashlight or use a red-tinted case.
2. Using the Accessibility Feature
iPhones offer an Accessibility Shortcut to enable a red tint on the screen, which can help reduce eye strain.

4. Enable Color Filters: Turn on “Color Filters” and choose “Red/Green Filter” or customize your own.

While not specifically a red light feature, activating Low Power Mode can help dim your iPhone’s display, creating a softer, less harsh environment.
Steps to Activate Low Power Mode:
1. Open Settings: Go to “Settings.”
2. Select Battery: Tap on “Battery.”
3. Toggle Low Power Mode: Turn on “Low Power Mode” to reduce brightness and extend battery life.

Night Shift adjusts the colors of your display to the warmer end of the spectrum during evening hours, which can reduce blue light exposure.
Steps to Enable Night Shift:
1. Open Settings: Tap on “Settings.”
2. Select Display & Brightness: Scroll down and tap this option.
3. Tap on Night Shift: Here you can schedule Night Shift or turn it on manually.
